“Chad still is Chad,” Higgins tells PEOPLE Now about Johnson’s appearance on the new reality show.

“He does his whistle,” adds Bushnell, 26.

Following Johnson’s run on JoJo Fletcher‘s season and a brief stint on Bachelor in Paradise season 3, the 29-year-old luxury real estate agent is set to return to reality TV during a camping trip in the woods with the couple.

“We invited Chad… we just kind of wanted to give him some redemption and I think that’s what the whole episode is about,” Higgins explains. “You’ll see Chad in his element once again.”

When the couple, who currently live together in Denver, were asked if Chad is possibly just misunderstood, 28-year-old Higgins quickly says, “We like to think so.”
